Chapter 3: Doubts

Foirth is a laid-back girl, about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a beige dress with a ruffled stand-up collar. Hearing Hugh's words at this time, she grabbed her slightly curly brown hair, and said helplessly: "What's the matter?" Can't you do it yourself? I can give you ideas. ”

"No, I need to search for evidence of a gang leader, and I need your ability to 'open the door'!" Hugh paused, stared at the indecent posture of Furth still lying on the sofa, and continued, "Besides, Forthth, you haven't been out of the house for almost half a week......

"I knew you were ...... for this," said Furth, seeing Hugh's brows furrowed, he had to raise his hand and say, "Okay, okay, I'll help you!" But you've got to tell me what the specifics are. ”

Hugh nodded, recounted the request of Mr. Ryan, the maintenance mechanic, and finally said, "So I need some black material for that gang leader to increase the success rate of 'convincing' him!" ”

"Are you sure this is to convince him and not provoke him?" Firth vomited in his heart, but said quietly: "This is just that Rian's side of the word, right?" Shouldn't you investigate the matter thoroughly before you act? For example, does the gang leader have an ulterior purpose? ”

"Yes, I was preparing to investigate, and I came back to get some money and equipment." Hugh replied.

"Not only that, but you also have to check if the gang leader is extraordinary, or if he has any extraordinary...... If you don't check all of these things clearly, not only may it be dangerous for me to open the door and get black material, but even if you try to persuade you, you may not be able to come back. "Furth is kind and seductive.

"Hmm...... You're right, Forth, I was negligent. Hugh thought about it and felt that the other party was reasonable.

"So, come back to me when you're done!" That way, I can drag it out for a few more days. Furth thought smugly.

"Okay then......" Hugh took out a small bag from his room and tied it around his waist, and before leaving the door, he suddenly looked back in the direction of the sofa and said, "Firth, although what you said is reasonable, I always feel that you are perfunctory to me." ”

"What's the ...... I can't get up! Firth stood up weakly, walked to the door, and sent Hugh out with a smile.

Hugh frowned, she wanted to talk to Furth about the strange person she had seen in the restaurant, but after thinking about it, she gave up, after all, although the feeling that person gave her was very depressing, it was not dangerous, and it might be only to add to the annoyance of Foreth.

……

Without mentioning Hugh and Furth, let's go back to Abner's side. The unexpected encounter with Miss Hugh did not delay his scheduled trip, and he began to travel through the Joewood, North, and Bridge districts according to the memories of the original owner. I purchased different plant powders, silver flakes, and other items from various herb shops, flower shops, jewelry stores, and jewelry stores.

These are all necessary materials for the ceremony, because they are not spiritual items, most of them can be bought in ordinary stores, but they are not so concentrated, and you need to go to many houses to get them. However, don't look at them as spiritual materials, and the price is not cheap, it cost a total of 1 pound and 12 soles, which made Abner, who was so shy, secretly hurt for a long time.

The reason why Abner was preparing for the ritual was to create a spiritual wall in order to obtain a clean and safe spiritual environment to test his pure white eyes. Well, by the way, the recipe for the 'reader' is parsed out. As for how he knew about the ritual? Naturally, it was because in "The Master of Mystery", Old Neil taught Klein almost how to lay out the spiritual wall and the spells, and he remembered every detail of this paragraph in the novel when he opened the Pure White Eye.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Abner dragged his tired body back to his rented one-bedroom cottage. He lay down and slept for an hour and a half, then got up and hurriedly ate some dry food he had bought from outside during the day, and then adjusted his state at six o'clock sharp, and made the "Holy Night Powder" from herbal powders such as deep sleeping flowers, dragon's blood grass, crimson sandalwood, and peppermint, which were all used to create spiritual walls.

Although Abner knew the method, it was the first time to get started with it, and his emotions were inevitably a little nervous. Fortunately, he has already incorporated some extraordinary characteristics, and his concentration has surpassed ordinary people, and he has quickly achieved success.

After sprinkling the Eve powder in a certain order, he twisted out another handful of powder and sprinkled it around himself.

As the strange, pungent smell evaporated, an invisible force erupted around Abner, separating him from the environment in the room.

With this done, Abner took a deep breath, took out the gem representing the extraordinary properties of Sequence 8 "Reasoning Student" from the iron cigarette case, devoted his attention to it, and silently recited 'Open' to give himself a hint. Through last night's accident and the fact that he almost opened his pure white eye on his own when he watched Miss Hugh in the morning, he roughly mastered the opening and closing method of his gold finger.

As Abner had expected, the pupils in his eyes disappeared instantly, their eyes turned pure white, and the rapid stream of data reappeared in his mind. His mind was also affected by this data flow, and he involuntarily carried out high-speed recall, induction, analysis, and analysis......

Five seconds later, as his face grew worse and darker, Abner hinted with great perseverance that he had closed the Pure White Eye, and then smiled with difficulty. Weakly muttered to himself, "It seems that the current limit of opening in the best state is five seconds......"

Before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

……

At night, East End, Dharavi Street, a cramped but lively pub.

Stop. Dilcha covered her nose and mouth and squeezed in, for for her, the place was not only full of wine and sweat, but it was also easy to run into people much taller than her, so that she had to face the armpits squarely, and the strong smell there was almost enough to stun normal people.

With a lot of effort, and even the ability to be an arbiter, Hugh finally squeezed to the bar and saw the person he was looking for.

It was a middle-aged man with a kind appearance, and his round face always had an amiable smile on it. But Hugh knew that this man was a cruel and vicious villain, and that he had once stepped on the hand of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old thief because he had secretly obtained it.

Hugh wouldn't even want to see him if he didn't have to, but there was no better person to ask for information about a gang leader. Because he is not only a gang leader, but also has a grudge against him.

"Duckholm, I've got something to look for you," Hugh knocked heavily on the wooden table of the bar.

This rude gesture immediately attracted a series of angry glances, but they soon retreated silently under the stern gaze of the "arbiter".

"Oh, Hugh, I haven't seen you in days, and it feels like you're even better than before!" The man named Darkholm said half-drunk, half-surprised.

That's of course, before I only had the ability to be a partial arbiter because of my father's genetics, but now, I'm a real arbiter!

Hugh replied proudly in his heart, but on the surface he said solemnly: "I want to know all the information about Rosen!" ”

'Oh?' Two-Faced Man's Lawson? Haha, Hugh, you're eyeing that bastard this time?! Well, as long as you fix him, I'll tell you everything I know! Darkholm was stunned for a moment, then gloated.

"'Two-Face'?" Hugh raised an eyebrow, feeling that the nickname was not simple.

"Yes, that bastard Rosen usually disguises himself as a humble and courteous gentleman, and always advertises that he is willing to help the needy get through it, but he is actually a loan shark, and the interest rate is very high! I don't know what tricks he used, every time he can use his hands and feet on the contract, he cheats people around, and most of the people who borrow money from him end up ruined! This bastard is much more hateful than me, Hugh must teach him a lesson! Duckholm gritted his teeth when he talked about Rosen, and he didn't know what the feud was between them, and he constantly encouraged Hugh to kill Rosen, and gave many examples of his family being ruined because of Rosen.

Hugh listened with a frown that interrupted Darkholm's chatter and asked, "He can do it every time, and the borrower only finds out after the fact?" ”

"That's right, that's why I don't know what new tricks this bastard has discovered, after all, everyone who borrows can't be that stupid. Before, this bastard's lending didn't go so well. Darkholm nodded.

"Before? When did he get so smooth? Hugh keenly saw the crux of the matter.

"Seven months ago, I remember it very well, because that was the time when I made a feud with him. Hey, his career was so smooth after that, and the money in his hand was several times more, so I didn't dare to retaliate against him. Duckholm gritted his teeth.

"Seven months ago...... Why did you make a feud with him? Hugh asked after a moment's thought.

"Well...... Darkholm didn't want to say it, but when he raised his eyes and saw Hugh's majestic eyes, he shook unconsciously, and hurriedly explained honestly, "At that time, one of my aces stole Rosen's suitcase, which contained something he had just looted from a debtor's house. Rosen soon found out, and sent his men to beat me up and retrieve the suitcase...... Originally, it was nothing to end here, but that bastard actually found someone to quietly kill a group of people, including that ace, shortly after the fact, which was a slap in my face! ”

"What's in that box?" Hugh asked.

"Hmph, you also suspect that there are some sensitive items in there, so Rosen stopped talking? I thought about it at the time, but when I found the unlucky guy who was in debt, I realized that there were only some badges he had collected, which were his hobbies, and those things were not worth much to others, unless Lawson could find an identical badge collector to sell him. So I think he was deliberately targeting me, and he didn't have anything else in mind. Duckholm snorted.

"What's that debtor's name? Where is it now? Hugh did not change his mind because of Duckholm's words.

"That man died a long time ago, all the family property was repaid, his family was sold, and he finally committed suicide by jumping into the river." Darkholm disagreed.

Hugh nodded, and after thinking that he understood more or less about it, he pulled a bill from his pocket and gave Darkholm as an intelligence fee, and then turned and left the bar.

"Badge...... Could it be a magical item? You'll have to look into it. Hugh thought to himself.

……

At twelve o'clock in the night, Abner opened his eyes, he rubbed the corners of his forehead, silently arranged and strengthened the spiritual wall that was close to failure, and then picked up the extraordinary properties that had fallen to the ground, and once again opened the "pure white eye".
